2 1. POLICY STATEMENT It is the policy of Bangor University, so far as is reasonably practicable, but in accordance with the relevant legislation, statutory requirements and good practice, to ensure the health and safety of staff, students and visitors to the University. 2. INTRODUCTION In addition to those general duties in law, the University and its constituent Colleges and Departments have specific responsibilities and obligations under the Road Traffic Act and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) to ensure the safety of owned, leased or hired minibuses and the competency of staff and students driving such vehicles on University related activities. For the purposes of this Policy Standard the following definitions apply: Minibus: Motor vehicles that have been constructed or adapted to carry more than eight but not more than 16, passengers in addition to the driver. Small Bus Permit: As an educational establishment the University may operate minibuses under a Section 19 Permit known as the Small Bus Permit which exempts drivers operating minibuses on University related activities from some requirements of the Transport Act (as amended). Maximum Authorised Mass (MAM): Is the maximum weight of vehicle that a driver can operate and which includes the vehicle weight, the driver, all passengers and the load. The MAM differs dependent on the driving licence categories a driver holds. o Category B Drivers: Can only drive vehicles up to 3,500kg MAM (4,250kg if specialized equipment is provided for disabled passengers). o Category D1 Drivers: Can drive minibuses of any weight up to 16 passenger seats (vehicle length must not exceed 8 metres) and tow a trailer up to 750kg. 3. BACKGROUND AND INFORMATION Minibuses provide a vital mode of transport for Colleges and Departments wishing to undertake activities which involve transporting groups of staff and / or students. Although the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) states that for every mile travelled, people in minibuses are less likely to be involved in an accident than people in cars, a number of serious accidents have occurred. The most recent notable incident occurring in April 2013 when a minibus carrying a hen party collided with a lorry on the M62 resulting in one fatality and 20 others injured. Under road traffic law it is also an offence, to cause, or permit, a minibus to be driven on the road when its condition, or the way in which it is used, could cause danger to anyone in the minibus or other road users. As such, operators must implement systems to ensure compliance with all relevant legal requirements, the advice in the Highway Code, and take all other reasonable measures to protect the driver, the passengers and other road users from collision and injury risks. 4. DUTIES OF THE UNIVERSITY In accordance with the University s Health and Safety Policy the duty to implement this Policy Standard is delegated to each College and Department as applicable.
